Hello everyone!

With some considerable help from my IT manager (RG), I've finally put a
few
pics on the web for all to see. Try the link below:

Fingers crossed ...

Lovely photos though a few of them should have come with a health warning
for me. ;-))

Oops, sorry about that, Sacha! :~) They are *everywhere* this year!

They certainly are - I glance round nervously before going to bed every
night, just to check the room is spider-less!


I very much like the hot border and the bird
bath, too but it all looks so beautifully laid out and cared for.


Thank you. The hot border is one of my favourite bits. You could toast
bread there in summer! I've made about three bird baths. They're so easy
to do and so much more individual than shop bought. The 'moon bowl' also
acts as a bird bath. That was a gift from my local gc after I got locked in
their premises and needed rescuing by the fire brigade! :~} Do you remember
that?

No! Senility, or what - me, I mean! Please tell the story because it
sounds like one of those very funny if not at the time, things!

Do you have Alstroemeria pulchella? If not, give me a nudge in spring if
you'd like some.


No, I don't have A. pulchella. I just googled for a pic and it's lovely,
esp. those greeny bits! Yes, I'd love a bit, please Sacha. That's really
sweet of you, and Ray, of course. I've always had a thing about
Alstromeria; it's one of the things I hunt for at the RHS Hampton Court
Flower Show every year. Thank you :~))

Yes, the A. pulchella is lovely, IMO. Ray has it here in the small
double but we've seen it growing outdoors in Totnes without any trouble
and it had obviously come through last winter. I love its rather
classy colours so will certainly send you on a bit. Just don't forget
that nudge!
